Mr. Phichit Pilasri, executive of Korngern Organic Farm Co., Ltd., said they have been engaged in processing Thai herbs, spices, and vegetables. Recently, they opened a branch at Talad Thai, marking an important milestone for the company since Talad Thai is a key agricultural trading center in the country.
Additionally, many entrepreneurs seek high-quality herbal raw materials for use in food and beverage businesses. Having a branch in this area enables the company to reach customers directly and provide faster service.
Inside Korngern Farm’s Talad Thai branch, a comprehensive range of herbal raw materials and processed agricultural products is available. There are over 100 items including herbs, spices, and processed vegetables such as galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, butterfly pea, black ginger, turmeric, banana, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, star anise, roselle, black pepper, white pepper, Garcinia, tamarind, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, ganphool, bael fruit, pandan leaves, fragrant pepper, plai, Indian gooseberry, cat’s whiskers herb, safflower, and Thai myrobalan. They also offer dried herbs and powdered herbs that serve as raw materials for producing food, medicine, beverages, health products, and processed food industries in diverse ways.
A key feature of Korngern Farm’s products is their production within a food safety standard factory, following certified processes such as GHP, HACCP, HALAL, and FDA. These are crucial standards for the food industry, assuring customers that the raw materials they receive are high-quality, clean, safe, and fully traceable at every production stage.
Besides selling products, Korngern Organic Farm Co., Ltd. plays an important role as a bridge linking farmers and the industrial sector by purchasing agricultural produce from farmers in various regions. The company selects, controls quality, and processes these to meet industrial standards before delivering them to customers both domestically and internationally. This helps increase the value of Thai herbal plants to compete in the global market.
"The company aims to develop Thai herbs into raw materials that meet industrial standards and can be supplied to various businesses, including restaurants, hotels, food factories, herbal medicine manufacturers, or entrepreneurs wishing to develop herbal products. Opening the Talad Thai branch is therefore a significant step in expanding the market and enhancing customer service capabilities," he said.
Currently, Korngern Organic Farm focuses on developing herbal products with quality and international standards, promoting the use of Thai herbal raw materials in the food, beverage, and health product industries to add value to Thailand’s agricultural products and create economic opportunities for Thai farmers.
However, this new branch opening reflects the company’s vision to elevate Thai herbs to industrial standards and expand business opportunities for Thai entrepreneurs, while also contributing to making Thai herbs recognized in both domestic and international markets in the future.
